IGCS Summer and Winter Schools
Since 2012, the IGCS has continuously organised summer and winter schools of different aspects of sustainability in order to promote the cooperation between Indian and German universities.
The schools serve as a platform for German-Indian academic exchange between students, doctoral candidates, and scientists, and as a hub for further networking in the topic of sustainability.
